Lucknow Super Giants will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in Match 31 of the IPL 2022 on 19th April at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.
LSG and RCB won their matches on Saturday and made it to the 2nd and 3rd spot on the points table, respectively.
The winner of this match can go up to the top spot on the table.
Both the LSG openers have smashed 200+ runs in 6 matches. Manish Pandey is struggling to collect runs.
In the middle order, Deepak Hooda is doing a fine job so far and he is having a great season so far and hitting the ball nicely. Marcus Stoinis has joined the squad now and an already good team has been strengthened with his inclusion.
The number of all-rounders is working well for the LSG team. Jason Holder and Krunal Pandya are looking in good shape as well.
Avesh Khan is in top form but his pacer partner Dushmantha Chameera is struggling to get wickets. Ravi Bishnoi has picked 5 wickets so far but maintaining a good economy of 7.16.

Faf is feeling a little out of form in the last 3 matches, after having a good start to the season. Anuj Rawat didn’t perform in the last 2 matches but he looked in good form in the matches against MI and RR.
Virat Kohli got out run-out twice in this season and it has certainly hampered his runs.
In the absence of top order’s form, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik are taking things into their own hands. Karthik is in top form and currently averages 197.
Hasaranga is bowling pretty well and has picked 11 wickets in 6 matches.
Harshal Patel and Josh Hazlewood are looking in good spot while Mohammad Siraj has conceded the most runs so far with only 5 wickets in 6 matches. The team might look towards trying Jason Behrendorff in one match, to replace Siraj.
